Height/Weight: 6’3” 210 lbs.
Bats/Throws: L/L

BP (50) - Future Tools: 65 hit, 50+ power Role: 55—Above-average corner outfielder

Nick Williams

BP - I’ve been the BP high man on Williams since seeing him in spring training 2014, and while I’m almost never right it looks like this visually inhibited squirrel has found his nut. We gave Williams 60-grade hit and run tools and 50-grade power in the Phillies Top 10 list, and that’s a collection of assets that should interest every fantasy player, especially when the player who possesses them will play half of his games in Philadelphia. I am a true believer in Williams’ hit tool and think he’ll routinely challenge for .290 or better in the majors. He’s not a great base-runner despite his speed but he can aim for 15 bags, and he should be able to hit homers in equal measures. Williams will look awful at times, but I’m banking on his natural talent winning out here. He’s a future OF2 and I will own him in every league imaginable.

Book Review - At Dawn We Slept

At Dawn We Slept is a quick 750 pages which breaks the  attack on Pearl Harbor into three phases.  Part one takes us through the prelude to the attack.  Part two takes us through the attack itself.  Part three concludes with a deep dive into the trials of both Admiral Kimmel and General Short following the attack.
